More winter storms were on the way for California, where a blast of Arctic air blew snow into the San Francisco Bay area, causing treacherous driving conditions and some schools to close.
Nearly 4 inches of snow crested the Santa Cruz Mountains on Monday and snow crept below 1,000 feet on other peaks in the Bay Area, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Steve Anderson.
More snow was expected for Santa Clara County and counties in the San Joaquin Valley, while thunderstorms, hail showers and gusty winds were expected in the Bay Area counties of Sonoma, Napa, San Francisco and San Mateo.
Flakes fell just after midnight Monday on San Francisco's Twin Peaks, the first such sighting since 1998.
Enough snow stuck to the ground Monday morning to close schools in Sonoma County and disrupt the morning commute from Santa Cruz County to the Sacramento Valley. Much of it melted later in the day.
Glenda Delenstarr, a scientist for Agilent Technologies, grabbed her snow parka and pants from the garage and took a break Monday from working at her Belmont home to drive up to the northern ridge of the Santa Cruz Mountains above Redwood City.
